It's episode five, and our hosts fix their gaze on the franchise sequel Alien 3, the freshman feature of director David Fincher. Daniel opens the floodgates with a discussion of contemporary feminism while Jeremy plumbs the depths of cinematic theology. It's an anything-goes grab-bag of Fincher fanaticism, best-of lists and Sequel Theory 101. Also, the big question: is Ellen Ripley the embodiment of sci-fi feminism the world has been waiting for?
